One advantage of reading a book in the twenty-first century is the diversity of ways a person can engage with that book on a multimedia level. When my fifth book The Vagabond’s Way came out in 2022, it was available in hardcover and audiobook, but one could also hear me talking about its themes in a number of major podcasts, including The Tim Ferriss Show, Ari Shaffir’s Skeptic Tank, KCUR’s Life Examined, The Art of Manliness, The Good Life Project, All the Hacks, and Zero to Travel.

In addition to media outlets like these, I also spent a year hosting a monthly “Vagabond’s Way online book club.”

Here, available for the first time, is my own rundown of personal podcast spinoffs for this online book club, starting with my book-launch promo events for The Vagabond’s Way, and continuing through the final installment of the online book club.
